SolidPing — Claude Code MCP server: what it does, how to install
SolidPing's MCP server hands a coding agent the uptime side of a project: create checks, read incidents, manage status pages without leaving the chat.
claude mcp add --transport http solidping https://solidping.io/api/v1/mcpWhat SolidPing does
SolidPing is uptime monitoring you host yourself, shipped as one Go binary. It covers 44 check types, from HTTP and DNS through Postgres, Kafka and a headless browser, and it handles incidents, on-call rotations and public status pages. The MCP server exposes that to an agent, so a check gets created or an incident gets read from the chat instead of the dashboard.
Transport is HTTP, so the client side installs nothing locally. Claude Code takes one command; Cursor and GitHub Copilot get the same endpoint as a JSON entry in their MCP servers block.
The monitor itself starts with docker run -p 4000:4000 --hostname solidping ghcr.io/fclairamb/solidping. SQLite is the default store and no second service is required. First login is [email protected] with solidpass, and the panel will not let you keep that password — change it on the spot. Source is AGPL-3.0.
What it helps with
- create an HTTP check from a URL without opening the dashboard
- list what is still failing after an outage
- publish a resource on a public status page
- read response-time history for one endpoint
- build an on-call schedule with escalation steps
Example prompts for the agent
- Add a SolidPing check for the
/healthendpoint on staging, every minute. - Which incidents are still open from the last hour?
- Put a new section for our API checks on the status page.

Questions about SolidPing
How do I install SolidPing in Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add --transport http solidping https://solidping.io/api/v1/mcp. That is the whole setup, since the server speaks HTTP.
What does SolidPing do?
It watches whether services stay up: checks run from several regions and from private agents, failures roll up into incidents, and alerts reach 10 native notification targets. The MCP server gives an AI agent access to those checks, incidents and status pages.
What do I need to run SolidPing myself?
One container: docker run -p 4000:4000 --hostname solidping ghcr.io/fclairamb/solidping, with SQLite built in as the default store. Log in first as [email protected] / solidpass and change the password.
